Charlotte Flair went from WWE's European tour to New York City to be part of a WWE conference before returning for the remainder of the tour. That's dedication.
The Hardy Boyz DVD got a clip released. Should be a memorable collection.
Dana Warrior, Mark Henry, and Lacey Evans honored military spouses in Washington, DC.
Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship is official for Raw. That should be a barnburner.
Braun Strowman and Bayley met fans before Raw.
Rey Mysterio has been announced for All In. That's definitely a big name. I don't know the odds of getting Punk, but I'd like to think Chris Jericho isn't out of the question.
Cody will challenge Nick Aldis for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at All In. So, father and son could both have the title in their careers.
The Briscoes vs. Cody and Hangman Page for the ROH World Tag Team Championship is set for Honor United: Edinburgh on May 24.
The Kingdom vs. SoCal Uncensored vs. the Hung Bucks for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship is set for Honor United:London on May 26. I'm curious if they'll switch the title back to The Addiction and Scorpio Sky there. It would definitely be big for The Kingdom to retain.
All In sold every single ticket in less than thirty minutes. While a large portion of tickets bought were for people to unload for a profit on other websites, the fact remains this is the biggest non-WWE event in the United States since WCW went out of business, surpassing anything Impact, ROH, or ECW ever put on. The importance of that accomplishment cannot be overstated. PWInsider's Mike Johnson covered what this means in-depth.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. I'd ask about his strategies for changing the structure of WWE in the face of large expenses for ventures (NXT, UK brand, 205 Live, etc.) that aren't leading to Network-related revenue, and what he intends to do about the styles he focuses on with those projects not translating to gains for Raw or Smackdown.
2. Ohhhhhh boy. WWE has very deliberately not featured the controversial Hall of Famer since his rise in politics. Other than potentially a pre-taped message on something like Tribute to the Troops, I think they're going to continue to go that route.
3. They at least get enough knowledge of the actual in-ring stuff to know how to effectively do their roles in making the superstars' work shine as much as possible.
4. I would think they might upload a few matches featuring names who ended up being more important, but I don't expect WWE to upload the whole series unless they're really digging deep in the archive for content.
5. In addition, they keep the footage in case something important happens like an injury. WWE knows what they're doing.
More wrestling tomorrow.
